I know I promised you a post on my handling of the steeks on my sweater (I did a sandwiched steek) - but that will have to wait a couple of days. Â I thought you'd like a sneak peek of the finished sweater first!! Â She's blocking once more right now, and I'm hoping to get… Continue reading Sneak Peek

Cutting the Steek
And here is the video I promised you! :-)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYr8smP_YDw
Preparing to Steek
I promised my guild that I would videotape my cutting the steeks for my sweater, so I figured to be thorough I'd do a whole post on the process. 🙂  Stay tuned for the actual video - this post will walk you through leading up to the actual cutting. Just FYI - this is a… Continue reading Preparing to Steek
WiP Wednesday
I'm almost done with the body of my sweater!! Â It should be done later tonight or tomorrow night! Â Then I can block it, and steek it and get on with the buttonband and collar. Â (Which I still have to swatch for! Â I can do that while the sweater is blocking/drying...) Stay tuned...
More Progress
I'm still plugging away at my sweater! Both sleeves are done and I'm almost to the armhole steeks on the body. I hit a bit of a hiccup early last week when I ran out of one of my colors of yarn!! Â I thought for sure I had another ball, but no such luck. Â A… Continue reading More Progress
Coming along
Second sleeve is done, and I've started on the body! Â I decided I need to make a little fix on the tops of my sleeves, though, so I'm ripping back the last 4 rows or so and making the change. The ends are slowly being woven in as well. Â The upside of doing a cardigan… Continue reading Coming along

I'm still plugging along on my Master Knitter level 3 work - I'm VERY close to being finished! Just the… Continue reading Happy New Year!

The TKGA Fall Conference was a couple of weekends ago, and I… Continue reading Update and TKGA wrap Up
WiP Wednesday
So, I'm going to cheat a bit and show you a FO this Wednesday. That's right, I finished my Master Knitter Level 3 hat!! Â Yipee!! Â Here it is: It blocked out just how I wanted it to - I wanted a more droopy version of a beret - a slouchy hat. Â And I wanted an… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
WiP Wednesday
Sorry it's been so long since I posted last - it's been busy, busy, busy here!  And the loss of my kitty threw me for a loop for a little while there, but I'm doing much better now. 🙂 I did finish a shawl a week or two ago, but I can't show it to… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
